Title: Rate the Songs
Post by sympathy_0 on Sep 15th, 2010, 10:18pm
We have all had time to digest the new album. What do you think are the best songs? Worse? Let's rate.

1. Hey Ya
2. Nothing Is Real
3. Still Your Song
4. As I Am
5. One Night
6. NotBroken
7. Now I Hear
8. Sweetest Lie
9. SFTROU
10. Home
11. Say You're Free
12. Home

1 and 2 are very close, as well as 3 and 4! :)

Shade, I do feel that at this point. I don't really like soldier as much as everyone else does, I am not sure about it yet. It hasn't grown on me like some of the songs have. Sweetest Lie is the one that is growing on me the most (I HATED it when I first heard it and then again when I got the album).

Okay, I might come back and edit this a little later on (I'm listening to another album as I type this, shhhh :-X) but for now, I think my order is something like...

1. Still Your Song
2. Something For the Rest of Us
3. Home
4. Sweetest Lie
5. Say You're Free
6. One Night
7. Soldier
8. Notbroken
9. Now I Hear
10. As I Am
11. Nothing Is Real
12. Hey Ya


Last 3 are relatively interchangable in my rankings.

1. Soldier (8.5 out of 10)
2. Hey Ya (7.5 out of 10)
3. Nothing is real (7 out of 10)
4. Say You're Free (7 out of 10)

Okay, but I don't care for it.
-NotBroken - (I believe this will be next single and huge hit), but I still don't care for it.
-Something for the Rest of Us
-One Night
-Home

Worst
-Still Your Song - sounds like everything else that's overplayed on the radio.
-Sweetest Lie - So different...nothing goo about it.

No Clue
-Now I Hear

I can see why. I think the intro is annoying as hell. It's like "hey, anybody in this world". Just sounds so desperate and cheesy.  The lyrics in the chorus is wierd as well. Just doesn't make sense to me. He sonds al romantic with "you know how i feel, it's just you and me" but also say "nothing is real"..just seems wierd.

    Iris is a great song, and I enjoyed it, but I never saw it was being one of the best songs. I cold at least list 5-10 better songs before I get to Iris. I could see why people like it, but I never could see why people would love Iris over other goo songs. The lyrics are definitely catchy and easy to remember...which maybe is a reason why people were easily attracted to it.

    They are all good songs but none of them are as good as Iris!!! I was really hoping they would have another song like Iris or maybe even better!!! But actually I don't think there could be a better song than Iris because it's my favorite forever!!! What do you think?!?!?!

    I actually really love this album. I don't know where to place it, though. I don't think it's better than GutterFlower, but could possibly end up thinking its better than DUTG - I don't think it's better than ABNG, though.

    1. DUTG (nmf just vomited)


    :-/

    The other vomits are merited, but I don't hate on people who love DUTG.  Do you know how badly I want it to be 1998 again?


    I'm not big on listing songs and albums so I will refrain, but HMU is definitely my favorite album and LLI definitely does not even get considered in rankings.

    No offense.  Just less vomiting that you originally thought.  :D
